It was revealed yesterday that HBO Max will be adding live sports to its platform at no additional cost for subscribers until February of 2024.

The episode also touches on the upcoming San Antonio Spurs City edition jerseys, giving fans a sneak peek at what they might look like, paying homage to the 1968 Hemisphere World's Fair.
